Story
Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. It's easy to say that humans are "wired" for story, but why? In this delightful and original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of storytelling. He argues that stories help us navigate life's complex social problems.

Story
When America entered World War II in 1941, we faced an enemy that had banned and burned over 100 million books and caused fearful citizens to hide or destroy many more. Outraged librarians launched a campaign to send free books to American troops and gathered 20 million hardcover donations. In 1943, the War Department and the publishing industry stepped in with an extraordinary program: 120 million small, lightweight paperbacks for troops to carry in their pockets and their rucksacks in every theater of war.

Stories That Inspire Us

Story
My mission is simple - I want to inspire others through their stories. When we share our stories in a way that honors and supports our journey, it is a reflection of the milestones from where we were, where we are and where we are going to. Through that adversity, we struggled, the fork in the road had many forks, we went on a path we did not anticipate, and often there were blessings along the way that we overlooked. But you made it and even if you are still going through it, you have landed in the right place - an outlet to inspire others!

Story
The need we have for story to shape us and not simply gratify us has inspired me to help shape the perspective Christians have toward fiction through conversation linking fictional stories we read to our spiritual formation and transformation into Christlikeness. What if we thought about and read fiction differently? What if instead of using it simply as either a means of escape from reality or to gratify ourselves with a good story we let it change us from the inside out? Story can impact our spiritual journey if we let it. That’s what Fiction that Forms Us is all about. We see fiction as ...
